Borrowed Plumage.
From the Chfcn0o Herald.

From the CHICAGO HERALD
In a small jewelry store there escaped the
solution of secret that has puzzled many this
season. No one going to Long Branch has failed
to observe the plenty of diamonds on ordinarily
dressed women. This jewelers. store is insig-
nificant but he has a good watch repairer,
whose services are often enlisted to tinker dam
aged mainsprings or fractured crystals. But if
the exhibition of goods is modest, the natty
little proprietor can take out of his pocket any
day handful of fine diamonds. As | stood adj
vising with him relative to a handspring that
had gone off that morning like an insane coffee
mill or a lunatic alarm clock, a dapper man
came in and handed over some cases. The new
conner produced a note book and read: Mrs
Jones wants that aigrette for Thursday night g"
and Miss Smith will take solitaire ring and
earrings for the week for S10'

Schemes of the Socialists.

A Western man. who denies that he is a
Socialist, announces that he intends to form
party which shall strive to make the gov
eminent truly paternal" He explains
that he believes it to be the duty of the
State to provide for all the wants of its
citizens. He says that the theory that gov
eminent was intended only for the protec-
ton of life, liberty and property was cx-
ploled long ago, and that nobody but
primitive fool" at this day advocates it.
In this country the State undertakes inter
nal improvements and provides education
for the children OF its citizens. 1t should
go much further aud provide shelter, food,
clothing, business-indeed, everything that
men now acquire by individual effort. In
addition, he believes the State should be
charged with the duty of rearing the young
because he does not think that men and
women who have been brought up by their
parents can be entirely independent. OF
course, with views like these, he also believes
that all marriage laws should be abrogated.
This mans denial that he is Socialist
AMOUNTS to nothing. His doctrines not
only make him a Socialist, as the term is
generally understood, but they make him
one Of the most dangerous of that class of
deluded people.
1t is not probable that the government of
this country, or of any one of the States,
will ever become as truly paternal" as the
Socialists wish 1t to be. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the country will experience
greater trouble with them than the majority
OF its people believe. Recent occurrences
in more than one State have shown that the
Socialists have quite largely increased in
number, and it is easy to be seen that they
grow holder in their demands every day
The cause of their boldness is the temporiz-
ing policy with which they are treated.
The desire not to interfere with free
speech leads the legal authorities to
take little, if any, notice of what the Social
lists say, although some of the utterances of
the latter have repeatedly been of the most
incendiary character. Not only is this true,
but even when Socialistic riots have oc-
Cured the participants have not been
promptly and adequately punished. There
ought to be a change. If the present laws
are not sufficient to compel these misguided
people to respect the government, then 9th
ers that will be sufficient should be enacted
1t is better to prevent an evil than to pro-
vide a remedy after it has worked injury.

The Uncertainty of a Conductors Life.

From the Chicago MAJ.
Railroads do not often reinstate a man after
he has been bounced" said a veteran of the rail
to me, as we were laundering along his road
"A passenger conductor is generally one who
has been promoted from the brakes Some
times an engineer is made conductor but you
will find these things an exception Companies
like to keep good engineers at the throttle
They had rather give them more pay than to
promote them AS rule it is first brakeman
on a freight, then to the same place on a pas
senger, then conductor on a freight, and by and
by to the passenger train by mighty slow
coaches. Many n passenger conductor has to
work as IAN extra" for two years or more be-
fore he gets n train of his own. And then.
when the coveted place is in sight, he has a
wreck, and If he hasn't mighty good case, and
occas ionally influence, he gets bounced. Then he
has to 60 to some other road and begin at the
bottom. know a man who has worked up in
this way for ten years. The very first run he
had with his regular train there was a smash

ductor Of freight on a Western road that kills
about six conductors every year. Barring the
dangers of the engineer, his place is the best on
the road II is mighty seldom that an engineer

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is
the strongest and staunchest organization on
the face of the EARTH and is the only one that

Our Ouarrel.

Once we came to the end of the world,
You and and love together;
Over us wings that flashed aud whirled,
Under our feet the fading heather
Naught beyond in the viewleSS void
But shadow and shadow and still shade,
And ever behind us time destroyed
The whirling wings with his cleaning blade.
Alas cried, for the beautiful dream,
And the shelterng wings that love held DER us /;
Now we have choice of the blue steel's CLEAN,
And the sheer black silence lying before us. -"
Low laughed love, and looked in your face,
Looked and turned and laughed aloud,
Foryour smile had lighted the desolate place
And love had shattered the fornleSs cloud.
Bue at our feet lay the summer sea,
Far behind us the whispering heather,
Alone at the end of the world were we,
You and l and love together.
So with song we came back again,
And the bright blade over us flashed and
whirled,
But it threatened loves sheltering wings in
vain,
That failed us not atthe end of the world.

A Story of Bishop sinopson.

An incident showing his gifts is related by his
uncle. Late one Saturday night he arrived at
town in the mountainous regions of Pennsyl-
vania, where he was total stranger. The next
morning he made his way to the Methodist
church, and accosted the pastor, telling him he
was brother in the ministry Simpson being
extremely awkward and plain in appearance,
the pastor was half inclined to omit the cour-
tesy due a brother preacher, of asking him to
deliver sermon. If he inquired of the bishop
as to his name he must have failed to catch it,
for he certainly had no idea to whom he was
speaking. His request for the stranger to
preach was therefore expressed in the most
formal and constrained manner The stranger
readily agreed to fill the pulpit, and the pastors
chagrin was evident, as he resigned himself to
his fate. The bishop preached one of his power
full sermons, and everybody in the audience
whispered to his neighbor, Who is hey Before
he had taken his seat, the pastor had him by the
hand. What did you say your name was?"
simpson" What! Not the bishop:' That
is what they call me- The minister instantly
sprang to his feet and shouted You have just
had the privilege of listening to Bishop Simp-
son. Let us sing, Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow ~

OPIUM IN IOWA.
An Assertion That There Are 10000
Victims in That State.
From the Davenport Democrat.

From the Davenport Democrat.
newspaper paragraph has been seen in
many of the State exchanges which states that
there are 10000 victims of the opium habit re-
ported in Iowa by the State Board of Health
Under date of Aug. II. Secretary Kennedywrote
to the Democrat Gazette that the current report
was evidently based on an investiga alton made
by DR.. Hull, formerly a member of the board.
1t originated in a paper prepared by the doctor,
which was published in the last biennial report.
Secretary Kennedy says in reference to the
statement before alluded to-that 10000 cases of
the opium habit have been reported-that there
is abundant reason for believing the number of
victims of the habit is far in excess of that
given He adds that it is exceedingly difficult
to get the facts against the objection of drug
gists and the concealmeut of the victims. DR..
Huh says that opium is to-day greater curse
than alcohol, and justly claims a greater num-
Der of helpless victims which do not all come
from the ranks of reckless men and fallen
women, but the majority of them are to be
found among the educated and the most honored
and useful members of society; and, as to sex,
we may count out the prostitutes so much given
TO this vice, and still find females far ahead, so
far as numbers are concerned

The eccentric Mrs. Weltha A. Emmons.
who few months ago created such a SEN

the proprietors of hotels at the suburban
summer resorts in the vicinity of that city
unhappy by applying to them for accom-
modations. They are afraid to permit her
to become an inmate of their houses for
fear that she will act as if she were in an
insane asylum.

LAWYER Tom r. Dunn, who is in a New
York Jail on a civil process, and who, it is
alleged, advised the defauting teller Scott,
of the Manhattan Bank to steal 81 900, 900
and make his way to Canada, appears TO be
very contented in his prison quarters It is
claimed that he has 100000 of the stolen
money, and there is not much prospect at
present that he will let go his grip upon it.
He knows the law thoroughly, and it is not
improbable that he will keep his mouth
closed and permit the law TO take its course.
He has twenty days from the time he YVES
arrested in which TO file his answer in the
Supreme Court. II he does not file any an
swer at all within that time, the bank will
take Judgment by default, and the Sheriff
will have sixty days in which to
levy upon any property belonging
to the prisoner. At the end of that
time, Mr. Dunn still remaining silent,

ton may be taken against the person of the

can be confined for six months, after which
he must be released, even without an appi-

Mr.. Dunn cannot he held in Jail after those
six months unless Scott should venture be-
fore the grand jury to testify against him.
The prospect that Scott will put himself in
The clutches of justice in order TO testify
against Dunn is very remote. BY keeping
his mouth shut, therefore, he may not only
retain the banks money but also be set at
liberty.
